Personal Concerns and Next Steps
My personal concern is if I'm going to meet all the requirements for my students by providing them enough activities, meeting the standards and knowing the subject matter to its entirety. I have not done my intership so with this class it seems like becoming a teacher is a lot harder than it looks like. I know one way to solve this fear is to go through my intership and practicum and see if my fears change. Math is not a strong point so maybe I could go to a math camp or practice math more often or volunteer in a classroom to gain my knowledge. I had never seen the Smartboard technology and I had no idea there was National Standards that need to be met until taking this course. By going to my classes, I can converse with my peers about technology and ideas they have.

You have a lot of great ideas to help you with your concerns! The internship is a GREAT way to become more comfortable as a teacher. You get to be the student and the teacher-- which is great! I asked my Field Based Supervisor many questions and we talked about some of my concerns and doubts in myself, and she was so helpful. Don't be afraid to ask questions-- they are the ones who can help us more than anyone else because they have so much experience.
